Lost Dog

Where did you sleep last night?
Under the cold street light
Who last called you by your name?

Where did you leave your peace?
Other half of your broken leash
Why did you run so far away?

Lost dog, something ‘bout you breaks my heart
Why you burying bones out in the yard?
I don't know if I wanna know where you've been
Lost dog, maybe I'll let you in

Home's not a word you say
Something made you stray
Off like a feather in the wind

Where do you find the ground?
Let yourself be found
If I open my door, make you my friend
Are you gonna run off and get lost again?

Lost dog, something ‘bout you breaks my heart
Why you burying bones out in the yard?
I don't know if I wanna know where you've been
But, lost dog, maybe I'll let you in

You don't have to live this way
Hiding from the pouring rain
Running through the hunger and the pain

Lost dog, something ‘bout you breaks my heart
Why you burying bones out in the yard?
I don't know if I wanna know where you've been
But, lost dog, maybe I'll let you in

There's a broken in your eyes and it pulls me in
Will you let anybody get close again?
